Halti sizes - requesting information :-)
Hello all,
I have just recently started to make haltis in pink and purple (and hopefully soon patterned webbing too). The only problem is I need to make sure I'm doing them in the right size!! I have made size 2 perfectly as I already have a template (and my GSD girl wears one (size 3 is too big on her), but I still need the measurements for 0, 1, 3, 4 and 5!!!! Is there any possibility somebody could give their halti a quick measurement - even just the muzzle and neck size would be a great help. Many Thanks in advance, Shantel -- www.CRAFTYPETS.co.uk |

rec.pets.dogs.breeds: you want people to assist you in infringing on someone else's trademark? I'm hardly the first person to make headcollars for dogs, and won't be the last either!! You first wrote that you're making "Haltis" (tm), as opposed to "headcollars" (generic). That fits *my* interpretation of trademark infringement. And asking others, on a public forum, to help you copy a patented product is setting yourself up for all sorts of legal problems. -- --Matt. Rocky's a Dog. |

And from the sounds of it you're using their products as templates, to the point of coming here to request people with ones in other sizes measure theirs and tell you what the results are (which also gives us an idea just how much you're willing to invest in your own business). Intellectual property is property, and stealing is stealing. I imagine that the company might be willing to discuss licensing, or if you have ideas to make their product better then you've developed your *own* intellectual property that you can either sell to someone else or use as the basis for your own products. The US DOJ is cracking down on intellectual property theft, and certainly companies are litigating like crazy. Aside from moral questions you may want to weigh the risks against the benefits. -- Melinda Shore - Software longa, hardware brevis - Hollywood was so out of touch with what seemed like reality that it was, in fact, entirely in touch with the new political ethos in Washington -- Matt Bai |

Halti was the best description - my apologies I should have said headcollar,
but nowhere did I say they were 'exact' replicas. Far from it ibecause n fact they aren't the same at all.. I just wanted rough guides to sizes. Not to worry, I'm sorry I asked.

For the record, the halti headcollar cut into my fine haired dog's nose, and even the padded version created a callous within a very short usage time. If you are going to nick anyone's ideas, take ones that won't hurt the dog! Diana -- Cindy the weimaraner's web site: http://cindy-incidentally.mysite.wanadoo-members.co.uk |

If you are going to nick anyone's ideas, take ones that won't hurt the dog! That sounds like a fit problem - there are similar issues with sledding harnesses and so you can now get harnesses tailored to houndy-type dogs and ones more suitable for blockier dogs like Siberians. There may be a similar market for head halters tailored to particular breeds, but that sounds labor-intensive and as if it might be a kind of high- overhead business to run. -- Melinda Shore - Software longa, hardware brevis - Hollywood was so out of touch with what seemed like reality that it was, in fact, entirely in touch with the new political ethos in Washington -- Matt Bai |
